If you have a subscription to Lexis-Nexis or Westlaw, it is easy. However, most people don't.
I have used http://www.findlaw.com for important cases.
For Pennsylvania appellate opinions, I use the website of the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts: http://www.aopc.org/Index/Opinions/IndexOpinions.asp

Like Mark said Lexis Nexis and Westlaw are the most comprehensive online databases. If you have a subscription or attend a law school you could access it.
Otherwise try www.austli.edu.au for Australian cases, there is also Wordlii for international cases.
If you're looking for a highly publicised case just try typing in the name in google ie; smith v. smith.

Some county court houses have web sites that list court cases by names and docket numbers. Call your courthouse to find out the web address. Since there probably won't be much info on the web, you'll have to go to the court house to look at the records.

Use a search engine and look for "case look up" in your State. Since I don't know what State you're in, I couldn't provide direct link for you.
